There's two kinds of centrism. The statist kind (big government), which is liberal on economic issues and conservative on social issues and the libertarian kind (small government), which is conservative on economic issues and liberal on social issues. Clearly, the voters are of the former variety rather than the latter. That is why the left/right dichotomy is overly simplistic IMO.
